You ever wonder what Soos does when he's not here at the mystery shack?

No.

Not really.

Not once ever.

Wait! You could die. At least tell me your name.

...It's not who I am underneath... but what I do ... that defines me.

...Bruce?

[Batman turns and leaps off the roof]

What have I done, Alfred? Everything my family... my father built...

The Wayne legacy is more than bricks and mortar, sir.

I wanted to save Gotham. I failed.

Why do we fall sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.

You still haven't given up on me?

Never.

Deep down you may still be that same great kid you used to be. But it's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you.

Bats are nocturnal.

Bats may be, but even for billionaire playboys, three o'clock is pushing it. The price of leading a double life, I fear. Your theatrics made an impression.

Theatricality and deception are powerful weapons, Alfred. It's a good start.

If those are to be the first of many injuries to come, it would be wise to find a suitable excuse. Polo, for instance.

I'm not learning polo, Alfred.

Strange injuries a non-existent social life, these things beg the question as to what exactly does Bruce Wayne do with his time and his money.

And what does someone like me do?

Drive sports cars, date movie stars, buy things that are not for sale... who knows, Master Wayne? You start pretending to have fun, you might even have a little by accident.

If you're uncomfortable...

Mister Wayne, if you don't want to tell me exactly what you're doing, when I'm asked, I don't have to lie. But don't think of me as an idiot.

Fair enough.

People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can't do that as Bruce Wayne. As a man, I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed; but as a symbol... as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.

What symbol?

Something elemental, something terrifying.

I assume that as you're taking on the underworld, this symbol is a persona to protect those you care about from reprisals.

You're thinking about Rachel?

Actually, sir, I was thinking of myself.

What are you doing?

What is necessary, my friend.

But a criminal is not complicated. What you really fear is inside yourself. You fear your own power. You fear your anger, the drive to do great or terrible things.

Once you've done what you had to, they'll never let you do what you want to.

I never cared who you were...

And you were right.

...but shouldn't the people know the hero who saved them?

A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.

[Batman takes off in the Bat and fly away]

... Bruce Wayne?

What happened to Rachel wasn't chance. We decided to act! We three!

Then why was it me who was the only one who lost everything?

It wasn't.

The Joker chose me!

Because you were the best of us! He wanted to prove that even someone as good as you could fall.

And he was right.

Can't rely on anyone these days, you have to do everything yourself, don't we!

Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just... do things.

What do you propose?

It's simple. We, uh, kill the Batman.

If it's so simple, why haven't you done it already?

If you're good at something, never do it for free.
